The park was dedicated to Gary Heimbach and named Heimbach Park on November 17, 2013. Mr. Heimbach is a well-known local philanthropist, who has spent countless hours collecting sizable donations to fund many worthwhile local organizations. Donating his time and energy to sell raffles tickets for various groups, donating time to the Christmas Boulevard, Mr. Heimbach is the “go to guy” to help with charitable fund raising.

Funding for the park provided in part by a PennDOT Gateway Enhancement Grant.
